An amazing gem in heart of Old Montreal. The food was absolutely delicious. Service was exquisite. Ambiance fabulous. Very charming & old world, making you feel like you are in Europe, with a beautiful view of the city. Highly recommended.

If u r looking for a very nice restaurant in the heart of Mobtreal, with really goid food & ratger affordable price, u can't find any better place than Bonaparte restaurant. But, there is a big BUT here, if u expect Michelin level, it is 4/5 compared to Michelin standards. I ordered 4 different meals there. 1st their twisted French onion. Its stock was the best that it could be, showcases the high quality of the restaurant. The 2nd item that I ordered was their best item on the menu:" crem brule' with Foei gras", it might seem weird but it's just genius. Try it & u will find happiness at 1st bite. My main course was confit leg of duck, which had way to be perfect. Nothing special about that, quite pricey, perfect presentatiin like painting with unseasoned vegetables as side dish. It was good, but not so good. The desdert was lime pie, it was 9/10, in my pallet, needed more lime aroma. In general: definitely worth trying. Plus, the manager of this restaurant, was the most polite person that I haver spoken to in whole Canada. He was so good at his job.

Incredible meal, service & time. We did the tasting menu with wine pairings. Our server, Guillo (sp?) could not have been more professional, knowledgeable & pleasant. The best of the courses was: Rabbit, Ravioli & the Duck. Just a really great time & meal!

Wow, what a classy beautiful & classy restaurant! The staff are friendly & excellent in their job. The service was impeccable. We had three course meal to celebrate my birthday. I started with the soup of the day, with sweet potato, squash & carrots. It was heartwarming. Then my main platter was lobster à la vanilla. The aroma was enchanting & the taste was out of the world. We finished the dinner a classic crème brûlée. So succulent. It's a high end restaurant therefore the price is super high. Overall worth it.

Good experience, I expected more for the price. Filet mignon was cold. I don't recommend the onion soup, flavourless with burned taste. Ravioli were the best on the menu.

We had dinner at the Bonaparte restaurant & is was great. The maître D very cheerfully escorted us to our table. Our waitress Juliette(?) was excellent. I couldn't commend the wait staff more. They were all very attentive. The food was fabulous. I had the shrimp & scallop appetizer. My entree was the cod special & it was out of this world. My had lobster & loved it. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more,

Bonaparte is kind of like the Disney Land version of a French restaurant, meant for tourists only. It's not horrible, but also not worth a second visit.

Bon mais pas exceptionnel à mon goût. Service chaleureux & ambiance chic

Assez déçu par mon expérience. Déjà, il ne devrait pas être possible de réserver au bar. L'ambiance est complètement différente de la salle à manger contrairement à d'autres restaurants où l'ambiance reste la même. même si le service était sympa on s'est pris plusieurs fois des glaçons dessus. Pour ce qui est des plats. Les raviolis étaient vraiment bons ainsi que le cocktail. Par contre j'ai trouvé que l'assiette était un peu vide. Bref, je ne pense pas y retourner compte tenu du rapport qualité prix très faible.

Stumbled in here on a rainy night & got a table for 2 without a reservation. What a treat! Fantastic service from George, our waiter. Food & wine were excellent, we really enjoyed the wild game terrine. - & if you go here be sure to have the Calvados Soufflé for dessert.

Very nice restaurant, however I did have higher expectations. Our waiter wasn't the friendliest which was a bit unexpected, & the food was good, but didn't blow us away. I had the rack of lamb, which was cooked to perfection, but lacked in flavor.

Excellent dining experience. We enjoyed many delicious courses & the wine pairing was fantastic. The service was also great, & the staff were very friendly & explained all of the dishes & wines. They even give you a sealed copy of the menu to take as a nice souvenir!
